Decanted Sample of Intense Cedrat Boise by Mancera

I personally prefer the og. Glad I sampled!

I’m just not a huge fan.  Didn’t like original CB so I wanted to give this one a shot. I can see why someone might love it, but the dry wood/ashy note is too potent for me.

Sure it’s super intense but I think it’s a good type of intense

This is a great scent for me. Aventus DNA but different enough to have both. I prefer this over the original Cedrat Boise but both are great

The longevity is certainly beast mode, but unfortunately for me that’s a terrible thing. This was the most offensive cocktail of chemical fruits my nose has ever smelled. I’m not a big fruity scent guy, so maybe you’ll still want to test it out.

This smells fresh and woody, and I think most age ranges could pull it off. It's not my favorite Mancera, but I can see why it would be for some. Haven't smelled the original but I'll have to check it out.
7.5/10

This is better than the original and some more depth and complexity

I wanted to love this but it just didnt do it for me. I was expecting a very bright scent but its was really dull. Like fruit that was just about to go bad. Not a bad scent, just not for me.

Smells like a smoky orange creamsicle. A little darker up front compared to the original with more earthy tones. Both are great and very versatile.

This is a great fragrance and very similar to BR540. However, it's a little less complex and much easier to wear. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys this type of scent profile.

Not any better than the original, more animalic and less woody/fruity freshness.

I wanted to try this out as I enjoyed the regular Cedrat Boise but the more earthy and oakmoss tones to this version were not to my liking. I had a similar issue with the oakmoss in Nishane Hacivat which I did not enjoy. So, if oakmoss is not for you then this version might not be up your alley.

Smells like stale cigarettes and lemon cleaner

Very woody and earthy. Not for everyone, but the quality is impressive. Definitely test before committing to a full bottle.

It’s a good fragrance, just a little too woodsy and earthy for me. The scent profile overall is great, I’d recommend it to someone else.

Very handsome cologne--one of the better ones I've tried. Smells kinda like a green forest with dewy moss.

The more "intense" oud brings out the rich woodiness much more but is still very approachable. The fruity currant open is still very much there and longevity is even better than the original.

Crazy to say it but this is even a better version of CB. It’s obviously more intense due to oud note which stretches out the fragrance even more. the fruitiness is dialed back. The freshness is dialed back. but the rich woodiness is all to die for

If you like the original like I do, you will definitely love the Intense version.  Everything that was really good about the original is still here only better with an intense concentration instead of the originals EDP concentration.  It's a super bright, citrus-heavy summer fragrance that's really long lasting and should be in everyone's collection.  Give this a try, you won't be disappointed!
